Well-known television actress Shrenu Parikh, who has to her credit such popular shows as Ishqbaaaz and Ek Bhram Sarvagun Sampanna, has tested positive for COVID-19. She is currently undergoing treatment in a hospital in her hometown Vadodara, Gujarat. The actress was in Mumbai when the nationwide lockdown was announced. She travelled to her hometown in May.

Parikh took to her Instagram account to share the news with her fans. In her note, she wrote that she was diagnosed with Coronavirus a couple of days ago and has been admitted to a hospital.

“Hey, everyone! (I) have been away for a while but the bugger has not spared me. (I) was found COVID positive a few days ago, and I am now recovering in the hospital. Keep me and my family in your prayers! And I am very thankful to all the Corona warriors who treat the patients compassionately during these scary times too,” read her message.

The 30-year-old actress added that even after being so careful if the virus can get to you, then imagine the power of this invisible demon we are fighting with. She requested everyone to be very careful and save themselves from the virus.

Shrenu Parikh is not the first actor from the Indian television industry to have contacted Coronavirus ever since several shows resumed production a couple of days ago, after a complete lockdown of three months. Recently, popular actor Parth Samthaan has also been tested positive for COVID-19. He is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Mumbai.

On Tuesday, India’s COVID-19 tally rose to 9,36,181, with 24,309 reported deaths.
